INSTALLATION

Install

• Download project

git clone <project-path>

• Rename all config/*.example files to config/.php
• Create database
• Pull up all dependencies

composer install

• Apply migrations

php yii migrate

• Init RBAC roles

php yii rbac/init

TESTING

Tests are located in tests directory. They are developed with Codeception PHP Testing Framework. By default, there are 3 test suites:

• unit
• functional
• acceptance

Tests can be executed by running

vendor/bin/codecept run

The command above will execute unit and functional tests. Unit tests are testing the system components, while functional tests are for testing user interaction. Acceptance tests are disabled by default as they require additional setup since they perform testing in real browser.

Running acceptance tests

To execute acceptance tests do the following:

1. Rename tests/acceptance.suite.yml.example to tests/acceptance.suite.yml to enable suite configuration

2. Replace codeception/base package in composer.json with codeception/codeception to install full-featured version of Codeception

3. Update dependencies with Composer

   composer update  
   

4. Download Selenium Server and launch it:

   java -jar ~/selenium-server-standalone-x.xx.x.jar
   

   In case of using Selenium Server 3.0 with Firefox browser since v48 or Google Chrome since v53 you must download GeckoDriver or ChromeDriver and launch Selenium with it:

   # for Firefox
   java -jar -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=~/geckodriver ~/selenium-server-standalone-3.xx.x.jar
   
   # for Google Chrome
   java -jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=~/chromedriver ~/selenium-server-standalone-3.xx.x.jar
   

   As an alternative way you can use already configured Docker container with older versions of Selenium and Firefox:

   docker run --net=host selenium/standalone-firefox:2.53.0
   

5. (Optional) Create kontur_test database and update it by applying migrations if you have them.

   tests/bin/yii migrate-test
   

   The database configuration can be found at config/test_db.php.

6. Start web server:

   tests/bin/yii serve
   

7. Now you can run all available tests

   # run all available tests
   vendor/bin/codecept run
   
   # run acceptance tests
   vendor/bin/codecept run acceptance
   
   # run only unit and functional tests
   vendor/bin/codecept run unit,functional
